Description

Comprehensive Evaluations for Liver Diseases Clinical Evaluation: Detailed medical history, including alcohol consumption, family history, and risk factors. Physical examination to detect signs of liver disease (e.g., jaundice, ascites, hepatomegaly). Symptom assessment, such as fatigue, pain, or changes in digestion. Laboratory Tests: Liver Function Tests (LFTs): To evaluate liver enzymes, bilirubin, albumin, and clotting factors. Viral Hepatitis Panel: Tests for Hepatitis B, C, and other related viruses. Genetic Testing: For hereditary liver diseases (e.g., hemochromatosis, Wilson’s disease). Autoimmune Markers: For autoimmune liver diseases (e.g., ANA, anti-Smooth Muscle Antibodies). Imaging Studies: Ultrasound: For initial liver assessment, detection of cirrhosis, fatty liver, or tumors. CT/MRI: For more detailed imaging in advanced liver conditions, including liver cancers or metastases. Elastography (FibroScan): Non-invasive test to measure liver stiffness and fibrosis stage. CT Angiography/MRCP: For assessing the biliary system or vascular abnormalities. Biopsy and Histological Evaluation: Liver Biopsy: Performed when necessary to diagnose liver conditions such as cirrhosis, liver cancer, or unexplained liver enzyme elevation. Including these details under the Diagnostic Services category will give a comprehensive look at how liver diseases are evaluated, which helps in establishing the proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
